However, it’s not a bad idea to use Epic like I do: Check the app every Thursday and see what’s free, grab whatever is free aimlessly and probably never play it until 20 years from now. I’ve been accumulating free games I’ve never downloaded since about a year now. I have quite the library! Maybe 20 years from now Destiny 2 will be obsolete and the microtransaction features will be obliterated and I just waste my time doing the single player mode. Maybe. I got it in my library for free just in case. LOL. I’ve never actually paid money for a game on the Epic Games Launcher. I just grab the free stuff and wait and see. So far, after acquiring 20 plus games this way, I’ve noticed that most of the “freebies” will require, if you get deep into the game, some extra purchase. Usually, the base game is free but the base game comes with DLC. Destiny 2 is special as a case, isn’t it? It has DLC given out for free up front, hoping to snag players that will become new whales. Your doomsday warnings about this whole thing has a positive spin: Game publishers are desperate for microtransactions and are probably realizing that we, the game players, are on to them with their microtransactions. I’m going to use my crystal ball to predict the following: Game publishers will find other ways to make money because people are becoming better educated about their personal financial health with regard to microtransactions (because microtransactions are ruining lives at the individual consumer level) and therefore Epic Games will stop offering free games every Thursday and do some other thing before it goes out of business.
